Quick summary

Drive north, then south, following the linear path until you reach a bridge, where your passage will be contested by a Geth Heavy Turret and numerous Shock Troopers and Rocket Troopers. Destroy the Geth Armature and Rocket Troopers nearby, then search the wreckage it was guarding to find two Locked Crates [Easy]. Press on until you reach a second bridge. Destroy whatever opposition presents itself as you cross the bridge, then shoot down another Geth Heavy Turret before stopping long enough to loot a Medical Kit near a crate. Blast three more Geth Heavy Turrets along the way and leave the Mako when you reach your destination. Pass through two doors and when you reach the interior of the garage you’ll be beset by numerous foes, including a Geth Trooper, a Geth Assault Drone, a Geth Juggernaut and two Krogan. Once the garage is clear you’ll hear an intercom announce your next subobjective: getting the research facility’s reactor back online. Head up a ramp to the east to find a walkway leading deeper into the facility. Be sure to loot a Secure Crate [Average] and an Upgrade Kit as you go, then pass through a door to the east. Here you’ll find some turrets facing the interior of the facility - an odd choice your companions are sure to comment on - after which you’ll find a fork. Go south, first, to reach a security room, in which you’ll find an Upgrade Kit and a Secure Storage Locker [Average]. Once that loot is yours, ride an elevator up to the interior of the facility. Leave the elevator and press on through a doorway to find a chamber full of Geth Troopers and Shock Troopers. Mow them down and when the last geth falls you’ll get a scene introducing a new type of foe: rachni. You’ll find yourself surrounded by some Rachni Workers, who are tiny green bugs with one goal: to run near you and explode, dealing toxic damage. After those are gone, head upstairs to find two Rachni Soldiers. Rachni Soldiers have two attacks: they can spit toxin from a distance, or attack you with their whip-like appendages. Both will bypass shields, and the latter is by far more dangerous, dealing heavy damage if you let them get close. Sweep the rooms for lurking rachni and loot, and in the northern of the two western rooms you’ll find a Storage Locker [Easy] and a Gravitic Research Terminal, which will give you a Codex Entry. In the southern of these two western rooms you’ll find a Medical Kit. Continue south to reach an elevator, which will take you to the next area. When you arrive, continue west through a door to reach a larger room where some Rachni Workers await disposal. Indulge them, then have a glance around to notice that pretty much every way out of this area is sealed off. Activate a Power Junction to be informed that you have to manually reboot the VI. Lovely. Make your way west to the “Mira Core”, looting a Technician Kit along the way, then enter the Mira Core. Once in the Mira Core, access the Memory Core. You’ll have to complete a minigame where you’ll need to transfer the module stacks (the glowing blue blocks) from the [Square] (PlayStation) / [X] (Xbox) column to either the [Triangle] / [Y] column or the [Circle] / [B] column.

Tips

Crossing the first bridge is marginally dangerous on higher difficulties, as you’ll be facing a lot of rockets without a lot of room to maneuver. Fortunately, you’re not timed, so you can retreat and wait for your shields to recharge, as necessary.
If the enemies in the garage are reluctant to close the distance, encourage them to do so with a few taps from your sniper rifle.
Medical Exoskeletons will be very helpful going forward, especially for characters without native health regeneration.
Be wary of vents as you explore, as rachni will use them to ambush you.
If melee seems unavoidable against Rachni Soldiers, use Immunity if you have it.
